Allan McNish Le Mans Crash Was Terrifying, But Could Have Been Much Worse.

Wow! Of all those pieces flying, tires, carbon fiber and no one seriously hurt. I'm sure Alan will be sore, but the look on the team managers face when he climbed out said it all.

How those photographers missed being killed is beyond me. Someone was watching out for them big time

Well, at least he can say it was a better move than J.R Hidebrand in the 500.

Don't worry about McNish, Audi pays him well.
